Okay, where to start? I had a check up on Thursday with my ob. She said things were looking good. My blood pressure was great, 110/60. My belly was measuring 34 weeks, even though it was my 31 week appointment. She said that even though Button is measuring big, since I'll be having a repeat c-section, it's not a big deal. She can get him out that way, no matter what size he is. And she wants to see me in two weeks. That would be on 7/30.
Fast forward to today...I had an appointment with the perinatologist. Of course, I had another ultrasound. Button is looking great, heart rate is 139. My fluid levels are great. And Button is already in a head down position. But much like last months ultrasound, he is measuring about 4 weeks ahead. His estimated weight is 5 pounds 1 ounce. Yikes! That's already more than I weighed and more than Killian weighed at birth!
After the ultrasound, I met with the doc to go over things. As it stand right now, I will be going back for growth scans every week. Four weeks from now, if Button is still measuring ahead, and his estimated weight falls in the 7-8 lbs range, they will do an amniocentesis to check for lung maturity. If that looks great, then Button will get to come out then! So, yes, that means, it's quite possible that we will have a baby in four weeks instead of seven.
I will be sure to keep every one updated after each ultrasound. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time!
